28 Months Later: Inside the Sprint to Implement the Inflation Reduction Act
The legislative history of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the most significant climate and clean energy legislation in U.S. history, has been widely covered by the political press. Since President Biden signed the bill into law - and particularly since Donald Trump won re-election in November - reporters have continued to focus on the politics of the IRA - Is it popular? Is it vulnerable to repeal? Are Republicans coming around to support it after all? Less well understood is what it takes to turn an ambitious but flawed piece of legislation into action. What do you do first, second, third? How much certainty do businesses need to invest? Where should federal grant dollars go? What happens when a major bill still doesn’t do enough? And, critically, what happens now? This talk will take attendees inside the nuts and bolts of implementation, highlight what the law has already accomplish and is poised to achieve in the years to come, and discuss areas where, despite its massive ambition, the Inflation Reduction Act's programs and incentives may still fall short in spurring a clean energy economy of sufficient scope and scale to address climate change.
Speaker: Kirstina Costa, former Dirctor, Office of Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation, Biden White House
